Print Screen at High Res

I am trying to include some Screenshots of a sharepoint application, within Flash, and am struggling to get decent screenshots.

Anyone discovered a way of getting 300dpi images?

The most effective suggestion so far is to take still photographs from a laptop connected to a 50" plasma screen which is hardly ideal.

    You can't. The screen is 72dpi, so anything from it will be that res, or whatever the pixels allow. e.g. a 1280 x 1024 image at 72dpi will print at 300dpi at just over 10cm by 8cm, or at 600dpi at just over 5 x 4 cm etc.

    The best you can probably do is:
    A normal print screen, paste it into Photoshop
    Image -> Image Size, change 72 to 300 pixels/inch
    Apply the Filter -> Sharpen -> Unsharp Mask filter at 100%

    I just tried it and it didn't look bad at all.

    Taking a photo will give you much worse results.
